Isis75 asks: Do manners matter?
You know the funniest thing about manners? People train us dogs not to greet people the way we want to – sniffing, licking, jumping on them – and instead to “sit and shake hands.” In other words, they’re afraid of our Continue reading
MaggieMay asks: How should I discipline my child?
When Handsome first brought me home from the pound, I had two main interests: First was Not Going Back To The Pound, and second was Continue reading
JoannaLove asks: What do you think about bad words?
I don’t speak with words, I bark. But I definitely use bad language at times. Like when I see a squirrel or a dog I don’t like outside my window. Or, worst of all, a cat! Oh do I use nasty language then!
So it would make me a pretty big Continue reading
Louisa asks: At recess, when is it best to tell on someone, or not?
Ah, the politics of the playground! When I go to the dog park, it’s fun to tumble and tussle with the other pooches. Most of the time, everyone just has a great time. But sometimes, one of the other dogs gets too Continue reading

HarrietteS asks: How should I deal with it if my date wants to do more than I do?
Oh this is a really good question. And I really relate to both sides. You see, I’m a big lover, and usually that’s something people like (The singing group I was named after even had a hit song called “Everybody Loves a Lover!”). But sometimes I meet Continue reading
Duchess07 asks: How much is okay to touch someone, or be touched?
I am a dog. And I’m a very friendly dog. So when people meet me, they usually think it’s okay to touch me. To pat my head, to rub my back, to scratch my tummy. And most of the time, they’re right – I love it!
But sometimes, I don’t. Maybe I Continue reading
Gingko asks: What should I do when my parents fight?
Wow, this is scary stuff, isn’t it. There’s really nothing like when your parents fight. Just them being upset is kind of upsetting, isn’t it? I remember once when Handsome Continue reading
